History of Accuro - Accuro (Care Services)

Our roots began in three separate charities that were formed by groups of parents of children with a disability. The parents were unhappy and concerned about the limited opportunities available to their children, as well as the lack of access to respite care for the families.

These services were:

Harlow Shared Care (HSC) – established in 1984
Respite Care in Uttlesford (known as ResCU) – established in 1994
Special Needs of Children and Parents (SnoCaP) – established in 1994.

In 2002, HSC and SnoCaP amalgamated, with ResCU joining the group three years later in 2005.

Together, they became Accuro (Care Services).

Once the shared care services became established in all three areas, it quickly became clear that local families were still in need of a wide range of services that were not otherwise available. In response, a number of new services were developed, the first of which was:

A social and leisure opportunities project for adults with a disability, which subsequently evolved into our current Adult Friendship Scheme.

Today, Accuro continues to grow and develop services in response to local people and needs. We currently provide 12 projects for children, young people and adults across Uttlesford, Harlow and Epping, whilst also continuing to offer the dual benefit of respite care for families.
